The hostel was an experience that I could have never imagined in my wildest dreams. After a short two week stay, I formed bonds with the staff and fellow volunteers that could last a lifetime. This was an amazing opportunity to practice Spanish on a day to day basis as well as learn about the local culture with full immersion. My dorm was sufficiently private, the ocean was always close by, and my experience in the kitchen was one of constant learning and lots of love. If you love being social and you're looking to make great friends, the hostel is the place for you.

My experience at the hostel in general was good. When I applied I didn't really understood the concept of the hostel however I decided get out of my comfort zone and give it a chance. Even though I don't really enjoy parties and drink the hostel is a lovely place . Surrounded by nature. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. They never tried make me do something I was not comfortable with. I worked in the kitchen most of the time and I really enjoyed since their culture and gastronomy is very different from mine.

Es una experiencia que sin duda repetiría, es un lugar donde tienes la posibilidad de divertirte, aprender y por supuesto conocer diferentes sitios alrededor, todo el staff son personas que te acogen y te hacen sentir parte de la familia, tienes una habitación privada para ti y la alimentación es deliciosa. Tuve la oportunidad de colaborar en diferentes tareas y siempre me sentí valorada. Además, el lugar es hermoso, la energía es mágica y se respira libertad. Estar en el hostel fue mucho más que un voluntariado, fue una experiencia llena de buena vibra, risas y conexiones reales. Espero volver ❤️
